Bamboo in White 5 x 7 acrylic |
Bamboo in White is acrylic on watercolor paper. The background was done sometime last year and has been hanging around waiting for inspiration to strike. Today was the day! I used white gesso thinned with water and tried the 3 load approach with thin, medium and thick paint. It took a fair bit of work and some adjustment to the method but I am reasonably happy with the results. Hmm, I wonder if I should call it "Ghost Bamboo".

Yes, that name fits Val. This is so lovely, and I love that you saved something that was just hanging around. So peaceful, and the palette is so unexpected :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. I think I will change the name as it sounds much nicer. I have a number of what Win Dinn calls 'starts' just waiting for inspiration but this was my favourite. Glad you like it.
